Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices or small cubes for quicker cooking.
Slice the onion into thin strips or rings and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil along with 1 tablespoon of butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the sliced potatoes to the skillet in an even layer.
Season the potatoes with half the salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and let them cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes to allow one side to crisp up.
Flip the potatoes with a spatula to cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes, adding another tablespoon of olive oil if necessary.
Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the sliced onions to the other side.
Season the onions lightly with a pinch of salt and sauté until they become soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
Mix the onions with the potatoes in the skillet and cook together for an additional 5 minutes until everything is evenly browned and cooked through.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish and serve warm.
